English to French Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering item of luggage, arm, load-carrying surface, moving means, drive means, support

The present invention relates to a device for supporting an object such as an item of luggage.

In an advantageous embodiment, the vertical speed of the arm comprises a soft speed limit and a higher hard speed limit,
Introducing a soft speed limit makes it possible to provide a speed-reducing support force to the moving means, which speed-reducing support force is according to the present invention used between the soft speed limit and the hard speed limit.

An operator will thus sense that the support of the object between the soft speed limit and the hard speed limit is lost, for example partially, so that it will be clear to the operator that the hard speed limit is approaching and it will be more difficult for the operator to reach this hard speed limit.

In another advantageous embodiment, the soft speed limit depends on the vertical position of the arm relative to the base member.
